And while they're at it, if golf courses could be forced to drastically reduce the tons of chemicals they use, it would be a good thing for all, including aquifers.

Putting the price of water up might - but I guess that this will just end-up on the customer - which is sure to reduce the "market potential"?. Surely no need to go all the way from Rice to Cactus - Paddy to Desert. Whatever you grow it's going to need a bit of water , but rice ! Only crazy people grow Rice where there is a water-shortage. Same with cotton. The bottom line rules ? There is one and one only. "If it pays, do it". It worked for Moscow while the Arral Sea lasted. - but the main point that we are missing is that "It wasn't "Capitalist" (Mr. Big told me so himself)!" Everything is just funky doory so long as it ain't "Capitalism" - no matter what kind of F" P?-up it is!! The world may end while these muppets sort-out the meanings of words. It's not "important" Is a short, sharp, shock going to do it ? – I don’t think so.

I remember thinking, I guess that: "Unsustainable Farming Practices and a Lack of Government Regulation Created Dust Bowl" doesn't sound as catchy. That false propaganda campaign along the interstate is funded by corporate agribusiness dressed up in phony family farmer drag-sickening. It seems insane to me that crops which use a massive amount of water, like rice, are being farmed in California. We should be growing more drought tolerant plants, such as agave, hemp and amaranth.
